Marine biologist Alan Deidun shared images of the now local favourite spotting friend egg jellyfish populating various Maltese waters in large droves.
Deidun described the jellyfish, known as ‘qassata’ or ‘tal-lampuki’ in Maltese, as turning the waters orange.
This jellyfish species is notably harmless, with many even taking the time to swim among them due to their harmless nature.
Have you ever spotted a fried egg jellyfish?
